We all get tired of hearing how we are supposed to drive carefully, exercise caution etc etc. But sometimes it bears repeating.

We have included some pictures of some of the most shocking, and stunning accidents that have occurred in and around the Mid-Columbia in 2013. So, of course, don't drink and drive, be careful, don't text or talk on the phone, and be smart. Some of these were caused by inattention, some DUI, several were fugitives fleeing the law, and the semi-truck that plowed through the truck stop near Grand Coulee were bizarre (the truck was unoccupied, parking brake failed). But they do underscore the need to be careful.

We WANT YOU around in 2014 and beyond. Thanks! From Newstalk 870 KFLD.
